Would you swap regular salt for potassium-enriched salt?

Hi everyone ❤️

When you have high blood pressure, one of the first pieces of advice you may hear is to reduce salt.

But newer research is also looking at another possibility: replacing some regular salt with potassium-enriched salt.

Potassium can help with blood pressure regulation, and some salt substitutes contain less sodium and more potassium.

However, these products are not suitable for everyone, particularly some people with kidney problems or those taking certain medicines, so it is important to check with a healthcare professional first.

💬 What do you think?

• Do you actively try to reduce salt because of your blood pressure?
• Have you ever used a low-sodium or potassium-enriched salt substitute?
• Would you find changing your salt easier than changing your whole diet?
• What dietary change has helped your blood pressure the most?

Would you consider changing the salt you use if your GP or pharmacist said it was suitable for you?

With care,
